In the context of this extension and oCIS in general, we are using the following terminology.
### Configuration
- System configuration
- e.g. service host names and ports
- Changes need to be propagated to other services
- Typically modified on the CLI
### Settings
- Application level settings
- e.g. default language
- Can be modified at runtime without restarting the service
### Preferences
- User settings
- Subset of "Settings"
- e.g. preferred language of a user
### Settings Bundle
- Collection of related settings
- Registered by an oCIS extension
### Settings Value
- Manifestation of a setting for a specific user
- E.g. used for customization (at runtime) in `ocis-web`
- Can be queried and modified by other oCIS services
